There have been sweet hellos in recent months. But there are also some farewells.

Earlier we had a farewell dinner for Er (girl next to me in the photo), who has been working across the corridor as part of the business news channel. She’s moving to Canada with her husband. I remember meeting them when they were still girlfriend and boyfriend. Her husband and my ex share the same name. “Your Neil or my Neil?”

Meanwhile both Ly and Lo (that’s LyLo!) have big things going on in their own lives recently. I mean look at us… it’s the middle of 2018 (I’ve known them for four years) and our topic earlier was tax clearance, banking, marriage, and migration. We’re headed in the direction of Titas of Manila. Only thing missing would be happy hour Prosecco.

A whirlwind of a month (June 2018). Concluding it with something I’m proud of. I put myself in a room filled with many gay men. I’m not talking about a sauna. I’m talking about volunteering for a local organization that helps fight the stigma against HIV/AIDS.

welcome to my blog!

I write about the things that excite me the most about living in Singapore: food, events, places to see, and how it's like being Filipino in this multicultural city.

I moved here in 2012 to pursue a career working for international TV. Living out of my luggage with a pocket full of dreams has paid off. From joining a dragon boat team to discovering where's the best resto to get salted egg chicken... follow my blog for all things Singapore and beyond. ;)
